[Drawing In The Dame Lorraine]

[Notes]
1Dame Lorraine: a mas character played by the 18th and early 19th century French planters, who would dress up in elegant costumes of the French aristocracy and parade in groups at private homes/yards during Carnival. It is now a portrayal done by both men and women and falls in the category 'Vintage Mas' Even children now portray Dame Lorraine. For children the costumes are simpler.
